STUDENT EVENT CALENDAR

CDHA hosted its Annual Student Regional Meeting (SPA) on March 23. Stay tuned for more information on 2023's SPA Meeting! This event will be free for all student members. Become a member now!

This event includes topics such as the importance of CDHA for the dental hygiene profession, labor law for the California dental hygienist, mini Board review quiz, panel interview with registered dental hygienists who utilize their licensure outside of the general dental practice setting, and meet CDHA's sponsors.

Each spring, the Student Poster Competition provides hygiene students a fun and creative way to exhibit their innovative ideas and unique talents. Through an engaging, spirited contest, students each year use this opportunity to present research and information that reflects an area of dental hygiene significant to them, to their patients and peers.

CDHA collaborates with the California Dental Association (CDA) in judging poster sessions and awarding cash prizes at the close of the Spring Scientific Session. Abstracts of the 1st place posters are published in both the CDHA and CDA journals. 

2023 Spring Scientific Session will take place on Friday, May 19 in Anaheim, CA. Registration coming soon!
